    A Close Call

    It was still raining the following morning, but it was a warm, gentle rain. Undeterred by the weather, the fathers and sons sauntered down to the rowboat to try their hand at fishing. Mike rowed the boat out to the middle of the lake and then they all cast their lines into the water. After more than an hour, they had only managed to catch a couple of fish, but they judged them to be too small to keep. After releasing them back into the lake, they had nothing to show for their effort. That
  2. Happy Birthday, MrM! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  3. Happy Birthday, Tor! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. I hope it's not sweet sixteen and never been kissed. Hehehe. If so, correct that problem!
  4. Happy Birthday, Steve! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  5. I'm a huge fan of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, so here's the second for your enjoyment. I love the heavy Russian overtones at the beginning, if if you listen carefully later, you'll hear a theme that was made into a pop song in the 70s.

    The Kritzers

    On Monday, the boys talked their parents into taking a canoe ride on the lake. They decided to do it in family groups, so it would put three people in each canoe. “Dad you sit in front. Mom you get in the middle. I’ll be in the back,” Mike offered. “The rest of you can use the same arrangement in the other canoe. Adam and I went on canoe trips with friends over spring break during our sophomore and junior years while we were at State, so we probably have the most experience. Since the per
  7. Happy Birthday, DaddyD! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. I apologize for being tardy with your birthday greeting! Please forgive me!

    At the Lake

    Sunday after lunch, Adam’s parents said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return home. They both had to work the following day, as did Mike’s parents, so they needed to get going. It was an emotional farewell for Rita, since she didn't want to be separated from Adam, but she understood she’d be seeing him again in a few weeks. “So are we going on vacation this year?” Mike asked, just as soon as the Washburns had driven away. “Yes, we are,” his father answered simply. “Well where are w

    Surprises

    Thanks, Skittles, and things are just starting to get interesting. You'll see the families coming together even more, as well as making some new friends along the way. Thanks for the feedback.
  13. Thanks, Skittles, and I hope I don't disappoint you. Adam will be involved in many situations: some deadly, most serious, but a few even humorous. I hope that reassures you a little.

    Surprises

    On the day of the game, there was a fairly large crowd in attendance and Adam positioned himself as close to the field as he could. Even though he didn’t know what Hester or her roommate looked like, it didn’t matter. He knew who Gator was and what number jersey he wore, so he'd just keep an eye on him. Since Adam knew when and how Hester was going to confront him, he figured he would be able to figure out who she was when she did that, so he’d be nearby when it went down. It was a fairly e

    Hester

    Before the spring semester ended, Adam got another request for assistance. It was early April when he received an email from another co-ed. In her request, the girl explained that she had a problem and didn't know how to deal with it. “I don’t know whether you can help me or not, but I have nowhere else to go,” it began. “I’m pretty sure I was raped at a Valentine’s Day party I went to back in February. Since I didn’t have any real proof at the time, I didn't do anything about it. Now, I
  16. It always interesting to watch the types of speculation such a finding will evoke.
  17. The extremes some people will go to interfere with the lives of others, even thought they've done nothing to elicit such hatred, other than being themselves. .
  18. His humor will be greatly missed. RIP, Gene.
  19. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you are enjoying this. Adam and Mike are pretty tight, so I wouldn't expect it to interfere with their relationship. The rest you'll have to wait and see.
  20. The return of the prodigal son. Welcom back, Meeko.
  21. Let's just hope they're the right lessons then!

    Questions

    Thanks, Stephen, and I'll admit that you will see this happen. For the time being, Adam has been testing the limits of his ability and trying to determine how he should use it, but once those issues are resolved, I'm sure he'll take action. Thanks for the feedback, and I hope you continue to enjoy this story.

    Questions

    Shortly after the boys got up the following morning, Adam made a very unexpected announcement. “I’ve decided to head back to Johns Hopkins right after we finish eating breakfast. I have quite a bit of studying I need to do and I don't want to stay up all night just to finish it.” “But I want us to do one more thing together first, before you take off,” Mike told him. "Please? It's kind of important to me." “Why? What do you have in mind?” Adam pressed, while giving his lover a quizzical
  24. Happy Birthday, Stannie!
  25. Thank you, everyone, for your Birthday wishes. I loved the cake, Valkyrie, and cute pic, FM.
